excitement in the operating room. Operators
left their tables and assembled In groups 30 dis
cuss the new order, despite che protests of the
chief operators. The female operators took
decided stand at once and declared that under
1no circumstances 'would they work on Sundays.

that unless ths order was rescinded they would
leave their tables for good. The superintendent

Henry Ward Beeoher'. Sayings.

The Literary News offered prizes for
the best approved quotations from the
writings of Henry Ward Beecher. Sew
enty-three lists were sent in, and the fol-
lowing six selections received the highest
number Of votes, viz:
OF all the battles there are none like
the unrecorded battles Of the soul.
Flowers are the sweetest things that
God ever made and forgot to put a soul
into.
II a man is fit to go higher, he viii
show it by being faithful where he is.
Books outlive empires. They fly with
out wings, walk without feet; houses of
supply are they that without money or
price feed men suffering from soul hum
ger, loaves that increase as they are
broken, and after feeding thousands are
ready for thousands more.
He who is false to present duty breaks
a thread In the loom, and will find the
flaw when he may have forgotten the
cause.
God did not make men perfect. He
made them pilgrims after perfection.

A Young ventriloquist.

A little Boston boy who was taken to
the entertainment of a ventriloquist some
time ago, and who was q close observer
of the performers modus operandi, ac-
companied his parents last week to his
fathers native town, and among the
places visited during their rural ~sojourn
was the country cemetery, where sleep
the ~progenitors of his paternal parent.
The latter pointed out to the child a GER
tain mound, saying: There, dear, is the
grave of your grandfather" The little
fellow gazed curiously at the place of
sepulture for a moment, and then, seized
by q sudden idea, stopped down, and rap
ping on the tombstone, said: GRANDPA,
are you down there?" following it up
with a self supplied Yes in as deep and
cultural a one as his little throat could
make vocal. Does you want to come
up?" he resumed in his natural pitch of
voice, and again dropping to the lower
tone answered his own query with q bass
and hollow NO." The parents, greatly
shocked, cut short further ventriloquial
efforts on the part of the too precocious
child .-Boston Budget.

Misery Arter Eating

Is avoided by dvspeptics who, guided by
the recorded experience OF thousands, be
gin and Systematically pursue a course OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Persistence
in the use OF this pure and highly accreG-
tied stomachic, is the sole and agreeable
condition of the entire removal of the OBJ
stinate forms of dyspepsia, no less than a
temporary fit of indigestion. In connec-
ton with the use OF this specific, it is de-
sirable to avoid articles Of food which in
dividual experience has shown TO be diff
cult of digestion, by the stomach sought
to be benefited. Each dyspeptic's past
observation of his digestive capacity
should enable him to be his own guide
and mentor in this particular, not trusting
to any set of dietetic rules too general to
be suited to particular cases. Billiousness
and constipation, heartburn, wind upon
the stomach, sour quotations, headache
and mental dependency, are among the
concomitants of dyspepsia, and we put it
to flight by the Bitters.

Nature never intended there should be
a city where Valparaiso stands, but the
enterprise of the Chillanos, aided by
English and German capital, has built
the finest on the west coast of South
America, and m has made its
headquarters there. The harbor Is
spacious, its surroundings picturesque,
and ten months in the year shipping is
protected, and in midwinter, when
''northers" prevail, vessels are often
driven from their anchorage and COM
PEELED to cruise about to avoid being
dashed upon the rocks on which the citT
stands. A hreakwater built across the
entrance to the harbor might give ample
protection, but the sea is sc deep-more
than 200 fathoms-that such a work Is
deemed ~impracticable. In the bay,
drawn up in lines, like men of war ready
for review, are husdreds of crafts, bear
ing the flags of almost every nation ON
the earth except our own.
The foreign trade is controlled by
Englishmen, all commercial transactions
arc rendered in pounds sterling, the
English language is spoken on the streets
and in the shops, an English newspaper is
published, and to a stranger the city
seems like one of her majesty's colonies.
There is a strong prejudice against the
United States, growing out of the atti-
tude assumed by our government during
the war between Chill and Peru, which
Is stimulated by the English residents

Japane.e Funeral Procession.

As we started to leave this store a
japanese funeral procession was passing
the door. First came three men, each
carrying an immense stand Of new cut
flowers, who were followed by several
men carrying and beating tomtoms.
After these came q procession of men
dressed In blue, marching two by two
and each wearing a large straw hat, very
similar to a lady's shutdown, tied under
the chin so as to almost hide the face
Behind the procession came the pail
bearers, four men, supporting two ham
boo poles on their shoulders, on which
rested what looked like a large coffin box
entirely covered with white. In this
box vas the corpse, pressed down to a
squatting position. Next came the
mourners, men and women, and after
them a number Of c~reoles, each carrying
a bamboo pole on his shoulder, on each
end of which was slung a large black tea
box containing food for the dead and his
family deities. Cor. Baltimore Sun.
